After playing collegiately for the Wisconsin Badgers, Lavelle was drafted first overall by the Boston Breakers in the 2017 NWSL College Draft before moving to the Washington Spirit a year later. She then played for Manchester City and OL Reign before signing with Gotham FC.

Lavelle represented the United States at multiple youth levels before making her senior international debut in 2017. She started six games for the United States at the 2019 World Cup, scoring three goals, and was awarded the Bronze Ball. The same year, she was named the sixth best player in the world at The Best FIFA Football Awards 2019 and was named to the 2019 FIFA FIFPro World XI. She scored one goal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics on the way to a bronze medal and won gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Early life

[edit]

Lavelle was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, to parents Marty and Janet, and was raised with three siblings, John, Nora and Mary.[3] She played competitive soccer initially with GSSA Sycamore United Club before moving to Lakota United Soccer Club and later with Cincinnati United Premier Soccer Club. She credits her love of soccer to long-time Cincinnati Soccer Trainer Neil Bradford, who began as her trainer at age 8 and predicted her rise to the Women's Soccer National Team as a youth.[4] As part of a third-grade book report, Lavelle chose to write about professional soccer star Mia Hamm.[5]

A four-year varsity girls' soccer player at Mount Notre Dame High School, Lavelle was named Cincinnati's Player of the Year by The Cincinnati Enquirer in her senior year. The same year, she scored 15 goals (38 points) for her team. Lavelle finished her high school career as the team's leading scorer with 57 goals. She was twice-named NSCAA All-Region, as a junior and senior, and received first-team all-state honors. She was awarded the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Sports Women of the Year award in 2013.[3]

Wisconsin Badgers, 2013–2016

[edit]

Lavelle was accepted to play college soccer at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 2013. A four-year starter, Lavelle made 19 appearances as a freshman, scoring 6 goals and registering 7 assists on the way to being named Big Ten Conference Freshman of the Year.[6] Wisconsin won the Big Ten Women's Soccer Tournament in 2014.[7] Lavelle was named Big Ten midfielder of the year consecutively in 2015 and 2016.[8] In 2015, she was also named first-team All-American by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA),[9] the first Wisconsin Badger to do so since 1991.[3]

Summer Leagues, 2014–2016

[edit]

Lavelle played with the Dayton Dutch Lions in the USL W-League during the 2014 season.[10] During her college break in the summer of 2015, Lavelle played for the Seattle Sounders Women of the W-League, where she was named in the All-League Team.[11][12] After the W-League folded she returned to the Lions for the 2016 Women's Premier Soccer League season.[13]

Professional career

[edit]

Boston Breakers, 2017

[edit]

On January 12, 2017, Lavelle was selected number one overall at the 2017 NWSL College Draft by the Boston Breakers.[14] Lavelle started her professional career by scoring two goals in eight games and was named Player of the Month for April.[15] However, after suffering a hamstring injury in June while on international duty, Lavelle missed over two months and finished the season with only ten appearances as a rookie.[16] The Breakers folded before the start of the 2018 season.[17]

Washington Spirit, 2018–2020

[edit]

A dispersal draft was held by the NWSL to distribute Breakers players across the league. Lavelle was selected first overall by Washington Spirit, who acquired the first pick through a trade with Sky Blue FC.[18] Due to injury and international duty Lavelle appeared in only eleven games for the Spirit in 2018.[19] Despite making only six appearances the following year due to international duty, scoring one goal and recording one assist, Lavelle was named to the 2019 NWSL Best XI in the end of the season awards.[20] With the 2020 season affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, Lavelle took part in the 2020 NWSL Challenge Cup, making four appearances and scoring one goal as Washington finished second in the preliminary group but were eliminated in the first knockout round by Sky Blue FC on penalties.[21][22]

On August 16, 2020, Lavelle was traded to OL Reign in exchange for OL Reign's natural first-round pick in the 2022 NWSL College Draft, $100,000 in allocation money, and further performance-based allocation money with the acknowledgement that she would be signing outside the league.[23][24]

Manchester City, 2020–2021

[edit]

On August 18, 2020, Lavelle signed with Manchester City of the English FA WSL ahead of the 2020–21 season.[25] She scored her first goal on October 7, 2020, in a 3–1 win over Everton in the 2020–21 FA Women's League Cup,[26] scoring her second goal against Liverpool a month later in the same competition.[27] On January 31, 2021, Lavelle scored her first WSL goal as a substitute during City's 4–0 win over West Ham United.[28]

Lavelle won the 2019–20 Women's FA Cup with Manchester City. She started in the November 2020 final against Everton, and Manchester City would end up winning the match 3–1 in added extra time.[29]

OL Reign, 2021–2023

[edit]

On May 17, 2021, OL Reign announced the return of Lavelle to the NWSL as an allocated player having acquired her playing rights prior to her move to England in August 2020.[23][30]

2022 was Lavelle's best statistical season in the NWSL. She scored five goals over 18 starts for OL Reign and was a crucial component of the franchise's third NWSL Shield victory.[31]

Lavelle missed the majority of the 2023 NWSL season due to injury and being rostered for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. She returned for the postseason, helping OL Reign secure a spot in the 2023 NWSL Championship in San Diego. In the title match, Lavelle scored OL Reign's only goal in a 2–1 defeat to Gotham FC.[32]

NJ/NY Gotham FC, 2024–present

[edit]

On January 4, 2024, NJ/NY Gotham FC announced that Lavelle had signed a three-year deal with the club.[33] She was one of four national team players who joined Gotham as free agents that off-season along with Crystal Dunn, Tierna Davidson, and Emily Sonnett.[34] After missing the start of the season due to a lower leg injury, she made her club debut on April 28, coming off the bench and scoring the tying goal in stoppage time to draw 1–1 against Racing Louisville.[35] She showcased an exceptional run of form in her first few months with Gotham FC; over 12 matches before the Olympic break, she scored five goals and was named to the NWSL's Team of the Month for June.[36] She finished the regular season with 7 goals, tied for second-most on the team, as Gotham placed third in the standings.[37] On November 10, she scored the winning goal in the 90+7th minute of the NWSL quarterfinals, a 2–1 victory over the Portland Thorns.[38] In the semifinals, Gotham fell to the Washington Spirit on penalties.[39]

International career

[edit]

Lavelle represented the United States at multiple youth levels. On November 24, 2015, Lavelle was called up to train with the senior United States women's national soccer team.[3] One of eight players who joined the team's Victory Tour following the 2015 Women's World Cup, she earned her first senior international cap on March 4, 2017, during a match against England at the 2017 SheBelieves Cup.[40] She was named Player of the Match following the team's 1–0 loss.[41]

Her final goal of the tournament was scored in the second minute of the championship game against Canada, helping the U.S. to a 2–0 victory, and their second straight CONCACAF Championship.[44]

Lavelle started six games for the U.S. at the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup in France, scored three goals, and was awarded the Bronze Ball at the FIFA Women's World Cup awards as the third best player in the tournament.[45][46][47] During the team's first group stage match against Thailand, Lavelle scored a brace helping the U.S. win 13–0. During the U.S. knockout round match against Spain, she drew a penalty kick that was converted by Megan Rapinoe to seal the team's 2–1 win and advance to the quarterfinals.[48] Lavelle scored the U.S.' second goal in the final against the Netherlands helping the team win 2–0.[49]

Lavelle was named one of the world's top 11 players by The Best FIFA Football Awards 2019[50] (finishing sixth), and was chosen as one of the world's top three midfielders by her professional peers in the 2019 FIFA FIFPro World XI.[51]

She played all 90 minutes of the U.S.'s third group stage match but received a yellow card in the first half of the game; since she had also received a yellow card in the previous match, she was suspended from the team's Round of 16 game against Sweden.[56] The U.S. ultimately lost to Sweden in a penalty shootout and was eliminated from the tournament.[57]
